Character

Who am I when I look inside?
Am I a person filled with love,
or is hate eating through my heart?
That dark monster feeds on my envy
when I see others and their success.
I pray for the taming of the beast.
At times, I feel him creeping,
waiting for that weak moment to strike.

The Lord gives me an inner strength
I use to fight back my pettiness.
He teaches me to love others,
even when they don't show love for me.
He leads me through the fog of life
when the ground makes me stumble.
His guiding hand reassures me,
through the moments I feel alone.

Help me Father when I am tempted,
and create in me a loving heart.
May my actions speak with virtue,
let my integrity be true.
You lead me to the top of mountains,
Your grace steadies my climb.
Without Your wisdom, O' Lord,
in the canyon I would be forever lost.

I will follow You, my God,
until my final breath;
serving you always,
until the day I make it home.
